2000 word essay. Bibliography & footnotes do not count in the word count.
I need editing for this essay to fit a high level University standard. It is attached as “essay.docx.”
Editing the citations is a really important task as well.
Topics to mention briefly in the essay:
- When and why did Britain start to de-industrialise?
- What are the effects of de-industrialisation?
- What measure(s) should we use when assessing whether the British economy has ‘declined’?
- Why do you think that the 1970s saw so much emphasis on economic ‘decline’ in contemporary political debate?
Citation style is footnotes and the instructions are attached in the essay information pdf.
